Seen on multiple people's journals:

Government funders within the Bush Administration at SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) notified the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) that SAMHSA Administrator, Charles Curie, would not be allowed to attend a SPRC regional conference on suicide prevention if conference organizers went forward with a workshop title that included the words "gay", "lesbian", "bisexual", and "transgender".

Well, duh, if we all kill ourselves then the fundies^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hneo-cons don't have to deal with us anymore. Except they're obviously being very short sighted - they'll need to find a new hot-button issue to get people all upset about and voting for them. Oh, look, there's Iran. Nevermind.

(yes, I'm feeling a tad cynical at the moment)
